Mitchell Wilson, of Pickering in Ontario, Canada, was out walking when his face and teeth were smashed into the pavement by a boy from his school.
A 12-year-old was arrested and removed from the school, but Mitchell’s father said his disabled boy was ‘never the same’ after the attack.
Mitchell was attacked last November for the Apple iPhone he had borrowed from his father Craig Wilson, reported the Huffington Post.
He was scared of bullies who picked on him because of his disability and the attack made him even more stressed and anxious, Mr Wilson said.
‘Subsequent to the beating that he took, he just lost that spark you see in a kid’s eye,’ Mr Wilson told CTV Canada AM.
‘He had huge anxiety attacks about going outside and going for his walks and going to school by himself.’
